Memorable Quotes from the Episode:

[00:42:51] "So I think everything needs to start on the business side first, so ideally, that's very clear for everybody where the business with a five year plan, if you will, for the business is so that anything else is a strategy to support that plan, right? Otherwise, it's kind of just wishful thinking. If if you want to go to Mars from a Data perspective, how can you create models for the company to be able to do that? But then if the company doesn't want to get there, then it's pointless. So that's why it's you need a business to take that first step."
